Translate nucleotide sequence into protein sequence

Notes:
Numbers, spaces and line ends are ignored. Check Nucleotide sequence to see the cleaned up sequence used in translation.
The tool accepts both DNA and RNA sequences.
Check All frames to see protein sequences for all frames, not just the longest one. For real world proteins the correct frame most often produces the longest peptide sequence but this may not work if the sequence contains multiple proteins on different frames.
FASTA header, if detected, is preserved and combined with the information about the current frame.
Frames 1 to 3 are shifted by 0, 1 and 2 positions from the start of the input sequence.
Frames 4 to 6 are shifted by 0, 1 and 2 positions from the start of the reverse complemented input sequence.
This tool also shows amino acids encoded by nucleotides before and after the normal region of translation. If needed, use a more specialized tool to locate a region of translation.
Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine require special regulatory sequences. Otherwise they codons are stop codons.
Browser translates into protein without sending your sequence to the server.
If you translate very long sequence, the input window will auto-resize to provide more optimal view.
